This autumn cult icon Johnny Marr is hitting Bristol Academy as part of his newly announced UK tour, you can expect to hear a host of tunes from debut solo album The Messenger as well as a few cheeky Smiths classics. I caught up with the man to see why he’s looking forward to returning to the one of the country’s leading music hubs –“Bristol is actually one of my favourite UK cities. It’s like a festival with buildings, and a river, oh, and a university. All the shows I’ve played there have been good. It’s a cultural place.”
